Melt 5 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; saute until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in condensed soup and poppy seeds.

Step

Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until heated through, 20 to 30 minutes.

For a richer flavor, consider using Gruyere or a sharp white cheddar in place of some of the cheddar cheese.
To add some heat, incorporate a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce into the cabbage mixture.
If you prefer a less creamy casserole, reduce the amount of cream of mushroom soup slightly.
